The power of the SAN

One of our departments needed space last week. Lots of if and out of nowhere too. So think about a strategy for about 15 mins b/c we really didn't want to do what took us only 5 mins to think of. Anyway it came back to putting their data on the SAN. Luckily we have SATA drive to use so we created a 600GB LUN on the SAN put it in a storage group with it's host and whalah!!! 600GB available to them like that. It's easy for us to do all this storage shuffling now b/c we have our infrastructure in place. Fiber channel switches, HBA's in each server emc SAN and lots of drive space ;)

Need help building out your infrastructure for a SAN solution hit me up :D
